205 I was referred to come to CPCS as an older students with lots of experience on disability issues and public policy. Since I started CPCS, I learned at lot and the faculty personel is very valuable to all the students. I find it very disturbing to see the turmoil in campus. After I worked all day, and pay my tuition, it is unfair to come to class in this kind of atmosphere. I hope all students at CPCS can raise our voices for our rights.

206 As a DAILY reader of the Globe, I want full and detailed coverage of this story!

210 Please help us solve this matter. It's a great feeling to help others; specially our future professionals. We should encourage people to go to University' s more, not push them away by taking unexeceptable actions and making our students feel discouraged. If anything we should help them out more.
211 I am very disturbed by the way the faculty was fired the Friday before school started. I drove into Boston on my first day of class on Thursday, only to find a Math professor being asked to teach an Economic Distribution class. This is unprofessional and violates the Chapter 93a consumer laws. We are consumers. We deserve what we pay for and that is the professors that we signed up with. I am outraged by the behavior of the dean.
212 IT'S IMPORTANT TO BRING TO LIGHT WHAT IS GOING ON AT MY CPCS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME HOW THE MEDIA COVERAGE IS POOR OR SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIXT AT ALL. LAMOS
213 You must try to save this college by reporting what is currently occurring at UMass Boston. CPCS fills a much needed nitch that no other educational facility addresses. As a result of their training I went on to the Public Policy Ph.D. program and have created an extremely successful international nonprofit educational organization. I could have never have accomplished this without CPCS.

218 I am a faculty member of U. Mass./Boston (Dept. of Sociology) and fully support CPCS in its quest for adequate and fair coverage by the Globe, and the mass media in general. In my estimation, CPCS is the one branch of the University that originally and truly has walked the walk of the urban mission of the University.

220 isn't it nice to know that the globe (among other institutions and people) are great at paying lip service to how they are for "for CPCS and its students" yet the actions displayed say otherwise. this should be another wake up call to everyone that cares about higher education for all and for the public and community sectors that the powers that be do not care about your education or about the community. If the higher up have nothing to hide and if there actually was a genuine intrest in saving the school and its students, the Provost and the dean should stop hiding in their offices and come converse with the students, which have invested thousands of dollars into this school. I am all for changes, but there is a proper way to initiate change. the contempt and dishonesty that has been displayed to the CPCS community by the dean and provost is unacceptable and unprofessional. I challenge the Dean and the Provost to a conference meeting....If you have nothing to hide, then what are you afraid of? and for the globe, considering the lack of journalistic integrity these days, i have to say that i am not surprised at the lack of coverage on an issue that has to do with the community or the public.
221 CPCS has made a significant contribution to the Boston Community. It deserve a fair public hearing.
222 As a graduate of CPCS and an avid Globe reader, I respectfully request that the Globe cover this important issue.

225 I have been complaining since 2005 and my biggest concerns was the support that the students and facility have been in crisis for some time now. what will become of the students who are trying to complete competencies to graduate.
226 I am a CPCS alum and I owe a great deal to the college. I wish to show my support .

243 I am a CPCS alum and owe a great deal of my success to the CPCS program, faculty, and staff. The Boston Globe MUST cover this story. Through the CPCS program students, faculty, and staff work to make Dorchester and greater Boston a better community to live in. With the CPCS crisis at full scale, the community will be detrimentally affected by the loss of community enrichment and the education of present and future community workers. With so few people in the world actually trying to make it a better place, we cannot afford to loose CPCS. The Globe MUST cover this story!

246 Without this story, the world will not know the importance of CPCS to the Boston area.
247
248 This is a necessary program which deserves full staffing.
249 As a former resident (6 yrs), local planning student, and the co-founder of an NGO whose mission promotes community service, locally & globally, I appreciate the great need for CPCS. It is a sad yet, not surprising 21st century reality that the "News" is that the regions "premier" rep of the Fourth Estate has long abdicated it historic role of speaking truth ot power. Perhaps the Globe's conscious refusal to report on UMB's wrongheaded, disempowering policy move is part of an intelligent design.
